Equality Objectives

MDJS stands against all forms of discrimination on the grounds of ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability or ability.

This is achieved through the following objectives:

* Deliver a Curriculum which ensures that ALL children achieve their full potential and which prepares pupils for life in the 21st Century.

* Actively close gaps in attainment and achievement between pupils and all groups of pupils; especially pupils eligible for free-school meals, pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, looked after children and pupils from minority ethnic groups.

* To move beyond the idea that ability is fixed and to model teaching and learning behaviours that encourage a growth mindset.

* To ensure the school environment is as accessible as possible to all pupils, staff and visitors.

* To promote spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and understanding through a rich range of experiences, both in and beyond the school.

* To reduce prejudice and increase understanding of equality through direct teaching across the Curriculum.
